“Jobs start at $7.25 an hour and range from ticket takers to tram drivers, to maintenance people to operations people and anything that is needed to run the Kentucky State Fair,” said Amanda Storment, with the fair board.

The jobs are for first, second, third, full-time and part-time shifts.

On arrival, the potential employees fill out an application, take a skill test, and by the end of the day, they'll know if they're hired.

“About 750 people are needed. This is the first day of hiring so we're really looking forward to having a lot of applicants for the entire run of the fair,” said Storment.

Once hired, applicants will receive additional training if necessary. South Wing C will be open every day this week for hiring.

Applicants should bring a valid ID or work visa, social security card or birth certificate.

Applicants must be at least 18 .

Applications can be turned in at the South Wing on Tuesday from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m., or Wednesday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m.

Starting Saturday, applicants must go to the employment trailer at Gate Four off Crittenden Drive.
